Fact #1:
The Perchance text models, or at least AI Character Chat, uses the DeepSeek model api. A reminder that DeepSeek is free and open source!
Fact #2:
Its been said that the new AI art model Perchance AI art image generators uses Flux. My preferred AI art image generator strongly implies this is true. Interestingly, the AI generated images still mentions Perchance uses Stable Diffusion despite being claimed the AI model is currently Flux. I tried looking into the text-to-image plugin page for any mention of Flux, couldn't find any mention.
Edit #1: New Image Model Notes seems to officially confirm the new AI art model is indeed Flux, specifically FLUX.1-schnell (well, based off of FLUX.1-schnell). I don't know when that page was created, though.
Edit #2: Page was last modified on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. So, its unknown if its still FLUX.1-schnell. More likely another newer and more improved version of Flux.
Edit #3: This post from the forum,

(TRIGGER WARNING: NSFW)
But I do know this: I have used different Stable Diffusion models and the current Perchance AI art model enough to know the current AI art model isn't Stable Diffusion. The current AI art model produces images much differently. The quality and rendering looks far better than some vanilla and custom/mixed Stable Diffusion models.
~~I won't say how I even found out this information but just wanted so share some facts I discovered LOL~~
Jk, it was through Google DevTools LOL
Sorry for being nitpicky, but I think a lot of people misappropriate the term "free and open source" these days. Once you have to go through an entire reverse-engineering ordeal, it probably wasn't open-source. And AI models rarely are open-source, either. There's one or two notable exceptions. But DeepSeek isn't one if them. They publish the weights and some code to do inference. The training dataset, the sources so to speak, remain a trade secret.
